ABSTRACT
Patients with hepatitis C virus seem to often have hepatic steatosis. To assess the prevalence and the predictive factors of steatosis during chronic hepatitis C. We studied 50 HCV RNA positive subjects, who had liver biopsy performed. Steatosis was searched and patients were divided into to groups according to the presence or not of steatosis. On liver biopsy, 28 patients [56%] had steatosis. Multivariante analysis showed that steatosis was associated with age 58 years > 1,1 micro mol/l, odds ratio 2 [95% CI 1.48 - 2.6; p= 0.02] and triglycerides level, odds ration 4,22 [95% CI 1.05 - 16.98; p = 0,03. In this study, steatosis was significantly associated with metabolic factors
